Inner Move to Nineveh: Jonah 3:3-4

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonah’s rise and journey into Nineveh symbolizes the moment you yield to the I AM within. Nineveh, a vast city, mirrors the complex inner dispositions you carry; entering it with a cry is your inner decision to announce a new state. The word of the LORD is not an external forecast but the living command of imagination within you. When Jonah proclaims that “forty days” Nineveh shall be overthrown, he is declaring the old pattern will yield to a new formation. In Neville’s terms, the doom of the city is really the dissolution of the old self; the proclamation is the inner decree that a new state is now present. The obedience to that inner word becomes the practice of imagining and feeling as if the new state is already real, and the outer events follow the alignment of consciousness. Thus, the story becomes a map: enter your inner city with a bold declaration, and let the transformed atmosphere of your mind return as outward change.
